Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Ecosystem

William T. Peterson mostly deals with Oceanography, Upwelling, Copepod, Ecology and Zooplankton. His work in Oceanography tackles topics such as Ecosystem which are related to areas like Anchovy. The concepts of his Upwelling study are interwoven with issues in Boundary current, Marine ecosystem, Shore, Ocean gyre and Plankton.

His Copepod research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biomass, Productivity and Stage. His Ecology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Spring bloom and Animal science. His Zooplankton research incorporates elements of Diel vertical migration, Chinook wind, Water column and Physical geography.

His most cited work include:

  • A new climate regime in northeast pacific ecosystems (441 citations)
  • Emergence of Anoxia in the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (412 citations)
  • The effect of temperature on the gut clearance rate constant of planktonic copepods (239 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

William T. Peterson mainly focuses on Oceanography, Ecology, Upwelling, Zooplankton and Copepod. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Climatology and Fishery. His study looks at the intersection of Fishery and topics like Oncorhynchus with Juvenile.

He has included themes like Productivity, Hydrography, Pacific decadal oscillation and Krill in his Upwelling study. His Zooplankton study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Abundance and Water column. His Copepod study combines topics in areas such as Diatom, Subarctic climate, Animal science and Chlorophyll a.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (66.49%)
  • Ecology (31.96%)
  • Upwelling (31.96%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Oceanography (66.49%)
  • Ecology (31.96%)
  • Upwelling (31.96%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

William T. Peterson mainly investigates Oceanography, Ecology, Upwelling, Copepod and Pacific decadal oscillation. His studies in Diatom, Biomass, Zooplankton, Bay and Hydrography are all subfields of Oceanography research. His research in Ecology focuses on subjects like Fishery, which are connected to Current, Aquaculture and Environmental planning.

His study in the field of Downwelling also crosses realms of Boundary. His Copepod research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Abundance and Submarine pipeline. He has researched Pacific decadal oscillation in several fields, including Continental shelf, Neurotoxin, Extratropical cyclone and Phytoplankton community structure.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Climatic regulation of the neurotoxin domoic acid (71 citations)
  • The pelagic ecosystem in the Northern California Current off Oregon during the 2014–2016 warm anomalies within the context of the past 20 years (68 citations)
  • Massive Mortality of a Planktivorous Seabird in Response to a Marine Heatwave (62 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Oceanography
  • Ecosystem

William T. Peterson spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Ecology, Upwelling, Plankton and Current. William T. Peterson has included themes like Ptychoramphus aleuticus and Seabird in his Oceanography study. William T. Peterson studied Ecology and Pacific decadal oscillation that intersect with Continental shelf, Neurotoxin and Uria aalge.

His study in Upwelling is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Bloom, Pseudo-nitzschia, Spring bloom, Algal bloom and Water column. The various areas that William T. Peterson examines in his Plankton study include Copepod, Zooplankton, Biomass, Climate change and Taxonomy. His work in Current covers topics such as Biogeochemistry which are related to areas like Climatology.
